So yeah, if you're an avid supporter of my non-profit organization, Why did Valve Kill Bill? (not a real organization) You're gonna enjoy this next tidbit of news. While Valve was firing off news about Portal 2 and all the dirty details of their launch, they also let loose some L4D information on the latest episode of Gametrailers TV. The news? A new campaign mission will release for both games, 1 and 2. Named "The Sacrifice," this DLC will see players running around grabbing pills, shooting zombies, and oh right, deciding the fate of Bill! That's right, The Passing saw him die, but apparently, it doesn't have to be so. The idea of a moral choice in Left 4 Dead sounds awesome, and we're hoping the alternative isn't Zoey dying, because Bill would be totally dead. So, you can expect the DLC to also include a remastered Mercy Hospital mission in Left 4 Dead 2 rendered glory (and gore). As for a release date, it's Valve, so whenever they feel like giving it to us, for a price of course, an unknown price on Xbox Live. It's free for PC, damn you Microsoft!

Just a little bit of news making way regarding Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The VIP 6 map pack is out for the game featuring two new maps for the squad mode. The maps available are Panama Canal for the Squad Deathmatch and Laguna Presa for Squad Rush.
